this is not the obama administration, bush administration, clinton administration. this is accused of many people in the region about america and i think it's unfortunate because clearly what the united states stands for is in line with what the arab revolution has been publicly espousing. secondly, i think we have done, and i take responsibility along with our entire government and congress and perhaps our dear. we've not done a very good job in recent years, reaching out in a public media way or in a culturally affect his way to explain ourselves. and now, i'm always encountering so many conspiracy theories totally off base, wild, made up stats with the media and region permits about the name date is century. no one will believe it or we can't possibly contested. i think we have to be in there every single day. i made a point of reaching out to al jazeera when i became secretary of state he says he was on relentlessly negative about us. has said that is not only inaccurate, but deeply unfair. the response to me was your government never put anybody on al jazeera.

obama had said now listen, this is all you're going to get. don't think you can come back and say i think three or more brigades do the trick. this is it. so no coincidence in 18 months to the day, obama appears and says he's pulling out all of the surge troops. not just through 5000, but all of them in the next year because basically it hadn't worked. he had a good situation because he could retrieve this is a victory because it killed osama bin laden. they had taliban troops in the field. the afghan arbutus getting better, but she didn't need the extra 33,000 troops to do all that. so he changed the mission and what has happened since his counterinsurgency has disappeared because of the failure of afghanistan's now abandoned us and that we shouldn't do and were reverting back to a new american way of war, which involves small footprint, drums from the sky, small commando raids, the opposite of counterinsurgency and on the one hand, at least for not sending 100,000 troops tamale or uganda. on the other hand they fear what this does do is set

some members strongly oppose president obama as foreign policy. but regardless of how we may feel the vote on the nomination will not change as policies. if there is a risk it will be the department's leaderless under military challenges and under combat operations underseas the senior leadership would be unlikely to benefit men and women in uniform given the explosion of the nuclear device for the delay to adopt this nomination i think will send the wrong message to north korea. the president needs to have a secretary of defense who will give unvarnished device, integrity and as a personal understanding relative to the use of military force. senator hegel's certainly has those qualifications and is well qualified to lead the department of defense. >>. >> as i have said many, many times going back to senator hagel how much i admire his service to his country, the job he did, the purple hearts but in my mind is that a justification to confirm to the nomination as secretary of defense? what you said was accurate in terms of the hearings. but that is
